Havin' Some Fun

It's been awhile since I wrote here, and you know what?

That's a good thing. Because the reason I haven't been writing here is that I've been busy out and about, meeting people, doing things, creating memories, and having a blast.

And this post, too, will be short, because at this moment, I am in Stuttgart, Germany, hanging out with my friends Sylvia and Keith. I arrived yesterday by train, and Keith picked me up from the main station in Stuttgart, drove me back to the base, checked me in, and got me safely to the apartment!

Seeing Sylvia and Keith again has been awesome - it's literally been years since our days of hanging out in Morley, Michigan - and I lOVE their two boys. Vaughn is 3 and Liam is 5 months, and they are sooo cute.

Today we just took it easy - sleeping in, big breakfast, relaxing mid-morning, shopping in the afternoon, relaxing early evening, great dinner of barbecued ribs, and now a relaxing late evening of movies and great conversation.

I feel...whole.

It's been awhile since I felt that way. It feels amazing.

And now I will get back to it. Just wanted to remember through this post how fantastic this trip has already been for me.

And tomorrow, Christmas party! HELLO, Army men...
